        Every tune app for guitar will work. But the best I have found is a belt tension meter

              Gates have an app called Carbon Drive. I have felt happier with a sprung displacement device - I use something like the one mentioned above, modified so that you can measure the displacement using digital callipers.

                Found this post interesting - I think I will also printout something easy for now (I still can later ruin my bank account for something expensive)

                That brought me to search a little bit on thingiverse, wanted to share what I think is doing maybe the job:

                measure (the original from pipersw but the high-end version of it):

                only indicator:

                  Seems like those with light are the most precise one, but they cost also, found this one which seems to be comparable to the one you posted:

                  https://www.carlislebelts.com/product/belts/tools/frequency-finder

                  And then there are so many with microphones (instead of light) which might take up some background noise but might be cheaper(?):

                  ...

                  Maybe for a first guess the mobile-phone-app might be sufficient? But if I would go ever exact I think I would also opt for light instead of microphone, because there is no background noise any more 😉 So thanks for posting the link above
